Activation
7%This description is essentially a placeholder with no functional content. It fails to describe any concrete capabilities, lacks natural trigger terms users would actually say, and provides no guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The only distinguishing element is the 'ssh key' domain reference.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Generates SSH key pairs, manages authorized_keys files, configures SSH config entries, and troubleshoots SSH connection issues.'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms: 'Use when the user mentions ssh-keygen, generating SSH keys, adding keys to servers, SSH authentication, or public/private key pairs.'
Remove the duplicate trigger term and expand to include variations users naturally say: 'ssh key', 'generate key pair', 'authorized_keys', 'ssh config', 'passwordless ssh'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions - only the name 'Ssh Key Manager' and category metadata. It doesn't describe what the skill actually does (e.g., generate keys, manage authorized_keys, configure SSH config). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Neither 'what does this do' nor 'when should Claude use it' is answered. The description only provides category metadata without any functional information or explicit usage triggers. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'ssh key manager' repeated twice. Missing natural variations users would say like 'generate ssh key', 'ssh-keygen', 'authorized_keys', 'ssh config', 'public key', 'private key'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The term 'ssh key' is somewhat specific to a domain, but without describing actual capabilities, it could overlap with general SSH skills, security skills, or DevOps automation skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is entirely meta-content with zero actionable information about SSH key management. It describes what a skill should do rather than actually teaching SSH key operations like generation, permissions, agent configuration, or config file setup. The content would need to be completely rewritten to provide any value.
Suggestions
Add concrete SSH key generation commands (e.g., `ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C 'email@example.com'`) with explanation of key types
Include specific steps for SSH agent setup and key permissions (`chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519`)
Provide example ~/.ssh/config file snippets for common scenarios (multiple keys, jump hosts)
Remove all meta-description content ('This skill provides...', 'Capabilities include...') and replace with actual instructions
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing Claude doesn't already know. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler with zero actionable information. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is no concrete guidance whatsoever - no commands, no code, no specific steps for SSH key management. The entire content describes what the skill supposedly does without actually teaching how to do anything. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is provided. Despite SSH key management involving clear steps (generation, permissions, agent setup, config), none are documented. The skill promises 'step-by-step guidance' but delivers none. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of meta-description with no actual content to organize. There are no references to detailed materials, no structure beyond generic headings, and nothing to progressively disclose. | 1 / 3 |
